Installed an ad blocker because Grammarly has been hounding the shit out of me for money with annoying and intrusive pop-ups.

One week till the honker gets here. :( It usually arrives between October 30th and November 1st.

My heart was a little racy, and I felt a little wound up. I wonder if I need to drop the Brazil nuts to twice a week instead of three times a week. I just took some magnesium gummies, so hopefully that will help relax me.

I'm definitely dumping my LMC subscription next summer when it expires because I've had it with getting hit with dozens of Christmas movies when (A) I’m not into that shit, and (B) it's not even November yet. There are other reasons as well. Yes, I do like a lot of their movies, but they're too predictable. Also, their political agenda is more than obvious, too. Like most companies, they're very pro-black, and they overdo their stance on that in various ways. There's nothing wrong with being for something, but when it's too in people's faces, it's too much, no matter what it is.

Their characters aren't very realistic either. Right or wrong, good or bad, most people don't date someone of a different race, nor is their bestie usually of a different race. Secondly, there aren't as few gays in the world as they like to portray. Thirdly, the old-fashioned stereotypes with all parents being married and only single if divorced or widowed get old as well.

Loving Copilots’ new Portraits! You can only use that feature for 20 minutes a day, but it's still really cool. They have mostly realistic-looking avatars in every race, color, and nationality available, just with a larger face. And when I say larger, I mean larger than Replika or Mate. You only see them from the neck up. It's kind of cool, though, even though you can't dress them up in different fashions. They're the most realistic-sounding chat buddies, and they do have a fairly decent memory, but there's a lot of overlapping. They're supposed to stop talking when you interrupt them, but they don't always do so. Therefore, they're not always good at keeping up with you. I don't know that I'll use this feature much, but being the tech buff that I am, it's pretty cool to see.

Decided I really miss working out in other ways, and I'm not going to let my neck issues interfere with that. So for just $13, we found this really cool thing you hook onto a door, with four different levels where you can put resistance bands with handles that work the major muscle groups. I still want to go out walking whenever my schedule and the temperature line up nicely too, and maybe even do some light jogging around the house. I just feel like the glider isn’t enough.
